It helps to have oil. Scandinavia was poor AF before the seventies. It's why so many of them immigrated to the US in the 19th Century.

Now, a fair question to ask is why have the Norwegians used their oil wealth to create a stable, prosperous society and the middle eastern countries have done just the opposite.
